Timing issue, in many cases when running node firmata, it will hang. Happens about 50% of the time.

What type of board are you trying to connect to? Using an UNO or Mega, I cannot reproduce this hanging behavior once, let alone 50% of the time.

rwaldron commented 9 years ago

Those look like Cylon.js logs, not Firmata.js.

born2net commented 9 years ago

I am using a latest rev. Arduino Yum with Serial1 disabled between Linux and Arduino as described here: http://cylonjs.com/documentation/platforms/yun/ so this is disabled:

ttyATH0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login

and about 1/2 the time when I reboot. the driver will not connect :(

born2net commented 9 years ago

yes but they use Firmata as the driver :(

born2net commented 9 years ago

I wouldn't mind hiring / paying someone to help me resolve this issue as I really need this to be stable and connect 100% of the time ...

rwaldron commented 9 years ago

There is nothing that Firmata.js can do about this, it's connection is handled by node-serialport
